How to Make It

Let’s turn yogurt into a delightful frozen treat!

Line the Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the yogurt melts from sticking and make for easy removal.

Prepare the Yogurt

Add the yogurt to a zip-top bag and seal. Cut off one bottom corner and gently squeeze out little dots of yogurt in rows on the prepared tray. (I make them about the size of a dime, though you can go smaller to the size of a pencil eraser.)

Freeze the Melts

Place the tray into the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. The longer they freeze, the firmer they will become.

Serve the Melts

To serve, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before serving to ensure they aren’t frozen solid. Check one to make sure it melts easily on your tongue!

How to Store It

Fridge: 3 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: Yes, for longer-lasting freshness.
Reheat: Not necessary; serve frozen.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the yogurt dots are evenly spaced to make them easier to grab.
• Don’t skip the parchment paper for easy removal from the tray.
• Experiment with different baby food purees for unique flavors.
• Always wait a few minutes after freezing to soften before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with fresh fruit slices for a balanced snack.
• Serve alongside a favorite veggie for a colorful plate.
• Enjoy them during playdates or outdoor gatherings.
